See the Atmel +Application Note AVR1612 "PDI programming driver" and the "Program and +Debug Interface" section in the Xmega A manual for details. + +The protocol uses two pins: the RESET pin and one dedicated DATA pin. +The RESET pin provides a clock, the DATA pin communicates serial frames +with a start bit, eight data bits, an even parity bit, and two stop bits. +Data communication is bidirectional and half duplex, the device will +provide response data after reception of a respective request. + +Protocol frames communicate opcodes and their arguments, which provides +random and sequential access to the device's address space. By accessing +the registers of internal peripherals, especially the NVM controller, +it's possible to identify the device, read from and write to several +kinds of memory (signature rows, fuses and lock bits, internal flash and +EEPROM, memory mapped peripherals), and to control execution of software +on the device. +''' + +from .pd import Decoder |
